A foam production method includes mixing liquid nitrogen with a foaming material to produce foam. A gas is produced in situ from liquid nitrogen. As the ratio of the volume of the gas produced by gasification of liquid nitrogen to the volume of the liquid nitrogen is relatively high, when a large gas supply flow is needed to generate a large foam flow, a liquid nitrogen storage device of a small volume can be used instead of bulky air supply devices such as high-pressure gas cylinders, air compressors, air compressor sets and the like, reducing the volume of the air supply device. In addition, the liquid nitrogen used in foaming will release nitrogen gas after the foam blast, such that the nitrogen is also able to inhibit combustion on the surface of burning materials, accelerating the extinguishing of the fire.

A fluid handling apparatus for ejecting fluid into a tank and draining fluid from the tank comprises: a fluid duct for draining/supplying fluid from/to the tank, the fluid duct configured for fluid communication with a tank opening at a tank bottom; a fluid inlet pipe for supplying fluid to the tank, the fluid inlet pipe extending at least partly through the fluid duct and configured to extend through the tank opening into the tank; a rotary fluid ejection device in fluid communication with the fluid inlet pipe; and a rotary drive shaft extending at least partly inside the fluid inlet pipe, the rotary drive shaft being rotatably connected to the rotary fluid ejection device. Also disclosed is a fluid tank system comprising a tank and a fluid handling apparatus, and a method for mixing beer or wort with solid hops material in a tank by a fluid handling apparatus.

A turbine assembly is for driving a pump of a fire extinguishing system, the pump being configured for injection of a chemical into a fire water column. The turbine assembly includes a housing provided with a flow channel extending therethrough for guiding at least a portion of the fire water column through the turbine assembly and a turbine wheel for being arranged in the flow channel. The turbine wheel includes turbine blades and two opposite side portions connected to and separated by the turbine blades. The turbine wheel is provided with openings between the turbine blades in order to provide at least one flow channel through the turbine wheel even when it does not rotate. The at least one flow channel through the turbine wheel starts between two turbine blades, runs through the turbine wheel, and ends between two other turbine blades.
